Genesis of Brilliance by Dan Hernandez

Gothic Surrealist Battlestar Galactica – That’s what comes to mind when you see the latest work of Dan Hernandez where the Icon looking Virgin Mary and militant angels zap with lasers at the unseen enemy. This would have been the secret paintings where the battle waged between good and evil might have played in the mind of Tintoretto or Hieronymus Bosch. Omnipotent power may be embodied by laser ray beams that can annihilate without question yet Hernandez put in so much details in the universe he created that it is a unique panorama. It is nothing short of laser-focused brilliance!
